Hi,
I'm pretty knew to this. I'd like to install a LAN driver (AttansicL1Ethernet.zip) for my Asus P5K. I opened the file that i downloaded from InsanelyMac on their compatible components list but don't really know what to do with it. If some one can help, it would be much appreciated. Thanks.

kytzu
unzip the file (you should find a *.kext inside)
copy kext file into /System/Library/Extensions/
open disk utility and choose "Repair Permission" for OSX partition
delete /System/Library/Extensions.mkext
reboot
type -f at boot time (optional)

OR:

unzip your file and put kext on desktop
open terminal
sudo -s
type your root pass
cd Desktop
cp -R yourkext.kext /System/Library/Extensions/
chown -R root:wheel /System/Library/Extensions/youkext.kext
chmod -R 755 /System/Library/Extensions/youkext.kext
rm /System/Library/Extensions.mkext
reboot

I just have one question. The patch worked fine but as soon as i "shut down" it no longer works. I have to do it over again and restart my machine. It seems like my computer does not fully shut down. Any idea how to fix this? Thanks so much for the advice and time. It's much appreciated.
